Van Toilet for Van Life, Campervans and Road Trips

What to Look for in a Van Toilet

Space is the biggest constraint in any van build, which means a van toilet needs to earn its place. It needs to be compact enough to fit in a small bathroom or wet room, light enough to move if needed, and reliable enough to use every day on the road. Most importantly it needs to handle odour completely, because a toilet that smells in a small van is not liveable.

Modiwell dry flush van toilets fold flat when not in use and seal waste automatically into a biodegradable bag at the press of a button. The sealed bag locks in all odour and liquid immediately, with no smell inside the van between uses or after disposal.

Van Life Toilet Without Plumbing

One of the biggest advantages of a dry flush toilet for van life is that it requires no plumbing at all. There is no water inlet, no waste pipe and no black tank to build into your campervan conversion. This simplifies the build significantly, reduces cost and gives you more flexibility when designing your layout. The toilet runs on a built-in rechargeable battery that can be topped up from your van's solar setup, leisure battery or any standard power outlet.

Portable Toilet for Van Builds and Road Trips

Whether you are fitting out a campervan for full-time van life or just want a portable toilet for van road trips and weekends away, a compact dry flush toilet is one of the most practical options available. It stores flat when not needed, sets up in seconds and works anywhere without any connection to water or drainage. Sealed waste bags can be disposed of in any standard rubbish bin, which means no dump station visits and no restrictions on where you park up.

Caravan Toilet Alternative

A dry flush toilet also works well as a caravan toilet alternative for anyone who wants to avoid the hassle of cassette toilets and chemical treatments. There is no cassette to empty, no chemical fluid to carry and no dump station required. Waste is sealed after every use and goes straight in the bin, making it a cleaner and simpler option for caravan, campervan and van life use alike.

All Modiwell van toilets ship free to the United States, Canada and Australia and come with an 18-month warranty. Customer support is available Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm EST.
